The Kester Shiraz showcases the best of the best from the Hunter Valley’s 2021 Shiraz harvest, capturing the region’s fruit expression in Keith’s signature style.

Primary fruit aromas of raspberry, blueberry, and cherry, plus hints of juniper and blood orange are enhanced by perfumes of pressed flowers and garden herb, developing into a finer-leaf bouquet of lavender and fresh clove.

The palate has gentle blue-fruit roundness, with full concentration yet pastille-like elegance, framed by lovely pure fruit focus and attractive lift, delivering a seamless velvety texture. The finish is deliciously long with whole-bunch energy and harmony, providing fine sappy hints of red-briar berry and pomegranate.

The Kester is matured only in large French oak Foudre, which gives a superb gentle spiciness with fine detail, plus sandy and subtle tannins with the polish of fine mocha and soft chocolate.

These fine red wines hold remarkably well and improve greatly with 3 to 7 years in the cellar, with best drinking from 2029 to 2033.

Decanting is always recommended if drinking within 5 years of Vintage.

Drink: Now to 2040+

About Keith Tulloch Wine

This small, completely family owned winery and vineyard produces wines that express our unique terroir and climate, from the ancient soils of the Brokenback Range. Our family and team work to attain the full potential of these vineyards.

Keith Tulloch is a fourth generation Hunter Valley Winemaker, so the soils of Pokolbin and the wines of the Hunter Valley run deep in his blood. Keith is a qualified Winemaker, a Wine Judge, and Wine Consultant.

In 1997 Keith began his own company, and produces wines under his own label focussing only on the traditional Hunter Valley varieties – Semillon, Chardonnay, Shiraz, and more recently other Rhone varietals, sourcing grapes from only the best vineyard sites.

These wines are hand-made with meticulous care, and epitomise the best qualities of Hunter Valley wine. All wines released have the style, balance, structure and integrity necessary for graceful maturation and cellaring. Winery production is very limited, with a combined output of only 12000 dozen per year.

For Keith the greatest reward has been found – making his own wines with a unique stamp of personality, power and integrity – away from the mainstream, and with a individual style and flair.

Awarded a 5-star rating by James Halliday for being “an outstanding winery capable of producing wines of the highest calibre.
